2013 Showcasing Artist Telekinesis (from Seattle, WA)
Written by Dempsey Jones
Telekinesis released another fun and intriguing album last month. Dormarion is frontman Michael Benjamin Lerner's third record since signing with Merge Records in 2009. Each bright and catchy track creates an album that is representative of the place it was recorded: right here in Austin, Texas. Dormarion was produced by Jim Eno, the drummer of Spoon, and the album even took its name from the very street it was recorded on.
SXSW Eco's PanelPicker is open for voting! From corporations using biomimicry to better their products to saving forests with paper, the sessions submitted for 2013 are as diverse and exciting as the event itself. Our staff has been hard at work developing new and improved events for this year's conference including:
The Startup Showcase: expanded to include green tech, clean web and social impact companies.
Place by Design: a public space design competition that is brand new for 2013.
Professional Development tracks such as Run Your NGO Like a Startup with more to be announced soon.
